A little while ago, I worried to John that the personal connections that I had were making me vulnerable. Because as long as there are people in my life that I care for, I have to be something else to protect them. That's something that I can't leave in the past.
I admire you, Oliver. It takes a special kinda idiot to actually get dumber with time.
I am not in the mood, Malcolm.
Human connections are what keep us human! And it's sad that it's a sociopath who's gonna have to point this out to you. You can't live on an island. You've already tried. But you are always gonna have people in your life, Oliver. And they will always need you. Better or worse, baggage and all. And if you can't accept that... well, your past is gonna stay your anchor.
